Lifestyle Weddings
Kirsten Jane only does one wedding a day so you are guaranteed to get her.
“We specialise in making your wedding day a happy one, these are your memories, very special ones.”
Our albums are innovative. Every package offers the same quality of photography & detail; Pacco, Milano, Cd, or Graphistudio Digital Storybooks.
This begins with the bride as she is getting ready. The detailed shots are very important and it’s so nice to show hubby all the excitement at a later date. If possible the groom has getting ready shots too, it just depends where he is geographically? Your special church or civil ceremony and venue is also captured from arrival up until you are ready to sit down for your meal, we take a mock up of cutting the cake, then I feel it’s a good time to leave you to eat and party the night away unless your speeches are before your meal. Then we’ll capture those cracking hysterical moments that you’ll never forget……
We concentrate on your expressions which are there for only a moment. In years to come you’ll look back and remember what it was that you were laughing at. We only do one wedding a day so you are guaranteed to get Kirsten Jane. Before your big day you would have met Kirsten Jane at least twice, so she won’t be a stranger, you will be more relaxed which we feel is vitally important. If you are not relaxed, it shows on your special photographs.
Your special memories are printed at 6″x4″ for you to keep in a beautiful keepsake box or bag. You choose your favourites from these and they are printed up professionally at different sizes and can be a mixture of colour, b&w or sepia toned images when displayed in your album. You and your friends and family from around the world will be able to view your images on line using a password that I will give you. The 6×4′s are not included if you are having the cd package.

Location
Kirsten Jane travelled to New York in August 2001 and shot a Contemporary Wedding alone and in September 2003 travelled to Cyprus to shoot a Reportage Wedding alone. Both weddings were extremely successful and very enjoyable. I photograph many weddings in The Lake District and The Ribble Valley.
We give FREE consultations to suit your needs and I believe in getting to know my clients as much as possible before and after their big day. Meeting up beforehand helps with you relaxing on the day. Meeting up afterwards helps me get to know you even more and allows me to help you choose the correct creative option when selecting your album.
Kirsten Jane is a very artistic person as her degree shows. BA (Hons)Art & Design. Her photographs reflect this. She captures the moments in an artistic way so that your special photographs are not all the same and uninteresting. As you may already know, this is called reportage or wedding photo journalism. This type of photography complements the handful of group shots that are still taken, but in a fun way.
Time Keeping
We will need one and a half hrs after the ceremony and before you are called into the wedding breakfast. Please keep this in mind when you are choosing your ceremony & meal times.
We are excellent time keepers and like the bride and groom to feel at ease and really enjoy themselves. Time is given to you both as best as possible after the ceremony. This allows you to be congratulated and for us to snap away. We don’t sneak you off for hours, we actively encourage your guests to snap away too.
Booking
Once we have booked a meeting or actually met, then you have one week to make your decision. You get first refusal. If you do wish to book then a minimum of £100 non-refundable booking fee can be made to secure your booking or a maximum of a third of the package price. Cheques are payable to Kirsten Jane. You will also be required to complete and sign a booking form. Half the remaining balance is paid 3 weeks before your special day. At this time we meet and discuss exactly what photographs you want by looking at your wish list. The balance is settled when your proofs or disc are ready. You pay and take your proofs or disc away with you.
Petrol
Due to the rising fuel costs, If your wedding location is out of the local area of Wigan or St. Helens then unfortunately I will charge 50p per mile for the round trip.
Reprints and Enlargements
Reprints and enlargements are paid for at time of ordering. See the portraits page for some prices. Just ask and I can email you the full price list.
